Giving back to the community has always been one of the core studio values at our studio. Each month, we highlight a particular charity as a studio, but when October rolls around, our focus has always been on Extra Life. We are proud to be a participant again this year raising money once again for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. All of the funds raised through our studio page will benefit the children at our local CMNH, the Oaklands Children’s Hospital & Research Center.

This will be our fourth year participating with Extra Life, and each year we’ve exceeded our previous totals. With this year also being the launch year for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, our studio has been heads down to finish the game, but we will have a number of our Hammers committed to raising funds. One Hammer has issued the challenge that he will shave his beard into specified shapes if he reaches his goal. Others are holding events like Poker Night and a Bake Sale at our Studio while others will be taking part in the 24-hour marathon – playing games for 24 hours straight.

We would also love to extend the invitation to join our Extra Life Team to our community of fans! If you’re interested in joining up with us, you can sign up by clicking that green button that says “Join Our Team” on the Sledgehammer Games page. Please be sure to include your email so we can send along our thanks for your commitment to helping us out.

You can also choose to donate to anyone who’s a part of the “Sledgehammer Games” team this year. Your donation is tax-deductible and all proceeds go towards helping kids.
